Getaway in the Red House

"My lord, I don't know what is the important matter for you to come to Hangzhou this time? Why didn't you inform the subordinates in advance, otherwise the subordinates should make arrangements as soon as possible."

Xue Biao stood in the center of the room with his hands down, and said respectfully to Mu Zixuan who was sitting on the main seat drinking tea, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Mei Jinyu, who was also standing aside, coughed and said, "My lord has come to Jiangnan to deal with the Zhen family's affairs at the emperor's will this time. Since the news of the Zhen family has always been collected by the elder brother, so the lord and We just came to Hangzhou. In addition, because the prince left in a little hurry, I didn't have time to inform my brother."

As soon as Mei Jinyu finished speaking, he felt a strange gaze from Mu Zixuan, and he suppressed a smile to ignore it.

Hearing the words, Xue Biao didn't notice the undercurrent between them, and said excitedly: "Oh, so, is the emperor going to start cleaning up these silverfish? If this is the case, it will be the fourth turn of the Zhen family. Great family!"

Regarding Xue Biao's mood at this time, Mu Zixuan and the others understood very well. Of all the people in this room, who doesn't have a blood feud with the Zhongshun faction?Now that they finally have the opportunity to eradicate them, one can imagine the urgency.

Next, Mu Zixuan and the others discussed the current situation in the south of the Yangtze River, and decided to wait for a couple of days to sort out all the collected evidence before setting off for Jinling to eradicate Zhongshun's minions—the Zhen family.

Because Xue Biao was originally living in Mu Zixuan's other courtyard in Hangzhou, so they naturally wanted to live here during their stay in Hangzhou.

When Xue Biao led Mu Zixuan and others to the guest room to rest, he suddenly remembered something and said, "My lord, my subordinates almost forgot to report back, because my younger sister and Miss Lin are friends, so they often communicate with each other. A few days ago, Miss Lin was a guest at the mansion, do you see...?"

When Mu Zixuan heard the words, he paused immediately, his expression was a little strange, and he said after a long silence: "It's okay, don't disturb Miss Lin... She... Oh, you handled some things about Miss Lin in Hangzhou well. Whenever Miss Lin needs something, you don't have to think too much, just help with all your strength."

Although he felt that the prince's words and deeds were a little strange today, Xue Biao didn't think too much about it, he was secretly happy because of the prince's words.Now Daiyu is like his own sister in his heart.At first, he was still scruples and didn't dare to take care of her too much, but now that he has the promise of the prince, he will be able to communicate with her in an open and aboveboard manner in the future.

After sending the prince and his party to Jingxinju, Xue Biao wanted to leave, when he heard Mei Jinyu say from the side: "Brother, wait for a while, Jinyu has something to ask, how about we go for a walk in the garden?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xue Biao to answer, Mei Jinyu came over and grabbed his shoulders, half-dragged him away, leaving Mu Zixuan looking at their backs, secretly ruthless.When the rest of the people saw Wang Ye's handsome face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, they all ran away without a trace on the grounds that the pommel horse was tired.

It wasn't until she walked out of Jingxinju and out of Mu Zixuan's sight that Mei Jinyu let go of Xue Biao and let out a long breath.Seeing his appearance like this, Xue Biao was surprised for some reason.

After the two sat down in the Tinglan water pavilion, Mei Jinyu told the whole story to the future brother-in-law...

It turned out that Mu Zixuan, the king of Dongping County, said that he came to Jiangnan to investigate the Zhen family's matter at the emperor's will, which was naturally true.But if it is said that he fled the capital in a hurry by taking advantage of this matter, it would be more appropriate to come here.

The cause of the incident was all caused by the prince. A few days ago, Mu Zixuan entered the palace to pay his respects to the queen mother, and it happened that the prince announced the good news to the queen mother and the queen, saying that the princess was pregnant again.

This was the joy of the royal family, the luck of the Yun Dynasty, the Queen Mother was overjoyed, and repeatedly ordered the Queen to send someone to protect the Crown Princess, and make sure not to let the villain's tricks hurt her.

After giving orders to the queen, she gave some instructions to the crown prince. The queen mother frowned when she saw Mu Zixuan beside her.

Now seeing that her most proud grandson has another heir, but this grandson who hurts her heart is still a loner, which makes the queen mother very anxious.

Ever since Mu Zixuan became an adult, the queen mother has always wanted to find a lady from a famous family to be his wife, so as to continue the incense for the Mu family.However, Mu Zixuan rejected them one by one on the grounds that he didn't want to miss the other's daughter. For this reason, he specifically asked the emperor for a decree to allow his marriage to be independent.The queen mother thought that there was no hope of detoxification, and her life was hanging by a thread, and she didn't want to force him, so she could only obey his wish.

But now that Mu Zixuan was in good health, he couldn't just let him waste away.So the Queen Mother made up her mind that Mu Zixuan must get married.Given that he has the sacred will of marriage autonomy, the Queen Mother will not intervene in this matter in the name of an elder. As long as Mu Zixuan has a favorite candidate, no matter what his family background is, the Queen Mother will not object.

Although Mu Zixuan lost his father when he was young, he still has a fresh memory of the affection between his parents. Therefore, in his heart, he has always wanted to find a woman who has a similar heart and soul to be his wife, and hold the hand of his son to grow old with him.

It's just that reading all the thousands of sails is nothing, the sky is forever and the night is not young.Mu Zixuan avoided the so-called noble ladies and daughters of the empress dowager in his ears from time to time.

There is no other reason. Zixuan has been in charge of the information exchange for the emperor for a long time. Zixuan knows everything in the capital, but he also knows it in detail.Most of those famous ladies are virtuous and virtuous on the surface, but they have a different appearance behind their backs. Mu Zixuan will not notice such a person who is so inconsistent.

The Empress Dowager saw this situation in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. When she was at her wit's end, the visit of Dowager Bei Jing gave her a glimmer of hope?

This Concubine Beijing was originally a good friend of Princess Changle, the daughter of the Empress Dowager, since Princess Changle passed away, the Empress Dowager treated her like her own daughter, so in front of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Beijing was very free and unscrupulous.

When Concubine Bei Jing chatted with the Queen Mother about Mu Zixuan, she inadvertently mentioned Daiyu who detoxified her.Because when the concubine first met Daiyu, she had a good impression of this beautiful girl, and after learning about her experience in Jia's mansion, her heart ached even more.

Therefore, when talking about Daiyu, the concubine praised her very much.This made the Queen Mother involuntarily curious and asked many questions about Daiyu.

The concubine heard from her son Shui Rong that Mu Zixuan paid a lot of attention to this Miss Lin, which was quite unusual compared to his calm personality, so they all privately believed that a good match was made by nature Not bad.

Now the concubine said it as a joke, but unexpectedly, it made the queen mother very excited: Yes, since Miss Lin can save Xuan'er's life, it proves that there is a great fate between the two.In this way, Xuan'er developed a good impression of Miss Lin in her heart, and she felt at ease.Besides, according to what the concubine said, Miss Lin is the best choice regardless of her appearance, talent, and character, and she and Xuan'er are a match made in heaven.

Even though she has some relations with Najia's family, it is not a serious problem.After all, her surname is Lin and she is a loyal minister, besides, she has broken away from the Najia Mansion, so there is no need to worry about it.From this point of view, Xuan'er must be very satisfied with this candidate and won't refuse it anymore, right?I'm afraid that in a short time, I will be able to drink the tea respected by my granddaughter-in-law.

The more she thought about it, the happier the Queen Mother was, and she was quite impatient.She found Mu Zixuan with an excuse, pretending to mention Daiyu casually, and watched her reaction.Sure enough, after Mu Zixuan heard about Daiyu, his expression changed immediately.This gave the Empress Dowager confidence in her heart, and she talked with her more and more obliquely.

Mu Zixuan's mind was so keen, he realized what the queen mother meant after thinking for a while when he noticed something was wrong.If he had followed his past personality, it was time to resolutely refuse at this time.But now he was in a trance, and fell into deep thought.

Mu Zixuan had long felt in his heart that Daiyu seemed to be different from other women in his heart.This feeling became more and more clear after Daiyu left the capital. Her beautiful figure always came to mind unconsciously. He didn't want to deny his feelings. He did have some feelings for Daiyu.As for when it happened, to be honest, he couldn't figure it out, it seemed that it just happened inadvertently and naturally.

Seeing the queen mother who raised him staring at him expectantly, Mu Zixuan, who had figured it out, did not hide all this, and expressed his heart clearly.

Now that the queen mother has known her grandson's true intentions, there is no reason why it should not be fulfilled.According to her idea, she wanted to recall Daiyu back to the capital to complete the matter, but was persuaded by Mu Zixuan.

The older the Queen Mother, the more childish her temper became. She was very concerned about this, and she was busy advising Mu Zixuan every day, but she couldn't do it well, and made the prince and other bad friends watch a lot of jokes.Fortunately, the Empress Dowager still knew how to behave, and did not let other irrelevant people know about it, which made Mu Zixuan really relieved.

In the end, Mu Zixuan was overwhelmed by the disturbance, and finally took advantage of this investigation of the Zhen family to escape from the empress dowager's nagging, and escaped from the "terrible" capital.

Now that he came to Hangzhou, Mu Zixuan, who was already a little entangled, felt agitated when he learned that Daiyu was not far away, which was different from usual.

Knowing the cause and effect from Mei Jinyu, Xue Biao couldn't help feeling worried.When he first met Daiyu, he still had some selfishness, thinking that if Daiyu had a good relationship with the prince, Baoqin would also benefit a lot from her friendship.

But after getting along for a long time, with the deepening of understanding, Xue Biao has sincerely regarded Daiyu who is in the same situation as another younger sister, and he has long since forgotten his original thoughts.Because he knew that what Daiyu longed for was a free and unfettered life, but the environment in which the prince lived was destined not to give her this, so Xue Biao was really worried about Daiyu, fearing that she would be bound into that gorgeous world again. In a cage.

"I don't want to sleep in the night, the empty hall is closed and reopened. But I stay away from the shadow of the lamp, and wait for the moonlight to come..."

Daiyu sat in the waterside pavilion, leaning against the fence, looking up at the bright moon and stars in the night sky, muttering to herself.

"Girl, although it's hot in summer, the garden is a bit shady after all. You should sit down and rest for a while. You won't lose sleep when you're late, and it won't look good tomorrow."

Daiyu turned her head and smiled lightly: "Xinlan is more and more like your sister Zijuan, considerate and careful, if I don't have you by my side to take care of me, I don't know what I would be like."

Xinlan glared at Daiyu, and reprimanded her: "Girl, don't bother talking about it, just go back when you're sitting down for a cup of tea. I stayed up with Miss Qin for most of the night the other night, and I'm not allowed to say anything today." Yes, if the girl is still like this, when she returns to the mansion, the servants must tell the nanny."

"Okay, my girl Xinlan, go and see if Sister Qin has returned from her brother's place. If she is, how about we go back?"

"That girl, don't wander around here, and I will accompany you back to the house when the servant comes back. By the way, when I came to look for the girl, I heard the little girl said that there seemed to be a few guests in the mansion, but fortunately they lived farther away. I can't hit it, but the girl still needs to be more careful."

After Xinlan babbled and told the girl, she hurriedly left Shuixie to look for Baoqin.

Seeing him walking away, Daiyu looked up at the deep night sky again with a smile, the faint fragrance in the garden lingered around her, and the sound of insects echoed in her ears like the sound of heaven in this silent night .Daiyu closed her eyes slightly, letting the watery moonlight shine on her face, her heart was peaceful and serene...

Daiyu, who was immersed in infinite reverie, suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps coming towards her, but they stopped quietly not far from the waterside pavilion.

"Xinlan, you girl will come back soon, that's all, let's..."

Daiyu's words stopped abruptly when she saw the gentle and elegant young man standing among the flowers in the night, that sweet smile could not disappear in the future, and it was so beautiful under the moonlight.

"...Miss Lin, leave the capital, please stay safe..."

No.40 back to dark love

Jingxinju was originally Mu Zixuan's residence in Hangzhou.The reason why the other courtyard was built here was to allow him to live and recuperate in this pleasant climate.

In the courtyard, the environment is extremely quiet.There is a bamboo path inside the gate, with famous flowers and plants planted on both sides. One flower has not faded, and the other blooms again.Under the cover of vines and vines, there are several Buddhist houses. Although they are not decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, they are extremely simple and elegant.

Mu Zixuan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. Ever since he knew that Miss Lin was in the mansion, his calm heart was slightly turbulent.Before coming here, he still boasted that the clouds are calm and the wind is breezy, but when he really arrived here, he felt timid again.

Forced to suppress his growing emotions, Mu Zixuan scooped up the criminal evidence of the Zhen family collected by Xue Biao and read it carefully.It wasn't until the sun was sinking and the light in the room was getting darker that I stopped for a rest.

During dinner, Mu Zixuan analyzed and discussed the criminal evidence collected with Mei Jinyu, Xue Bian and the others, and ordered many matters before going back to the quiet residence for a rest.

Without the interruption of trivial matters, the ray of emotion from the bottom of my heart rose leisurely.Mu Zixuan was trapped by this emotion, and suddenly felt a little irritable, so he couldn't help walking out of the courtyard and wandering in the garden.

All the way through the flowers and willows, crossing mountains and rivers, enjoying the bright moonlight, Mu Zixuan's chaotic mood gradually calmed down.

Just when he walked to the lotus pond and stood there, playing with the bright moon in the water.Occasionally, he raised his head and looked to the side, but saw a plain-clothed woman leaning on the railing to look at the moon in the water pavilion. The silhouette under the moonlight immediately made his heart flutter, and he became infatuated for a while.

When he came back to his senses, he was surprised to find that he was walking towards the water pavilion unknowingly.Mu Zixuan smiled wryly in his heart, he had finally lost his heart, fell in love, and was no longer as calm and self-possessed as before.

Mu Zixuan, who had recognized his intentions, was thinking of going forward to speak, but saw Daiyu looking back at him with a sweet smile.Immediately, Mu Zixuan was immersed in that charming smile and couldn't extricate himself, and said softly: "...Miss Lin, leave the capital, are you safe?..."

Daiyu thought it was Xinlan who had left and returned, but was about to joke with her, but found that the young man with a leisurely temperament in the moonlight was actually Dongping County Prince Mu Zixuan!Daiyu was astonished and froze there for a moment.

Under the hazy moonlight, the two of them looked at each other across the water, quite a bit: the ambiguous artistic conception of willow branches on the moon and people dating after dusk.

Seeing Daiyu's absent-minded expression, Mu Zixuan felt a little joy in his heart, couldn't help smiling, and walked over.

Seeing him walk into the water pavilion, Daiyu quickly got up and saluted, "The daughter of the people didn't know the prince was coming, so I was rude just now, please Haihan."

"Miss Lin, you don't need to be too polite. You and I are old acquaintances. The girl has saved my life, so there is no need to be so polite. If the girl doesn't mind, just call me Zixuan."

"My lord, you are being polite. You are a noble person, and the daughter of the people dare not offend you. Seeing that it is getting late, please do yourselves, the lord, and the daughter of the people will leave temporarily."

Daiyu was also very conflicted at this time, seeing Mu Zixuan appearing in front of her, she really didn't know how to deal with it.Although I saved his life, their master and servant benefited even more under his protection.Therefore, the emotional debt between the two, after careful study, it is really hard to figure out who owes whom more.

Seeing that Daiyu was about to leave, Mu Zixuan said in a panic: "Miss Lin, can Zixuan invite you to chat here for a while? Afterwards, my son Xuan will leave this place. I don't know what it will be like when we meet next time." At that time, how about Quan being an old friend today?"

Seeing his begging expression, Daiyu left without embarrassing him. After much thought, she decided to take this opportunity to express her gratitude to Mu Zixuan for his many cares.

"Since the prince sincerely invites you, the girls should accompany you. It is often said that you invite wine to the moon, but today it is better to drink tea under the moon. Please wait a moment, the prince, and the girls will go and serve tea to the prince."

Daiyu was about to leave when Xinlan hurried back.Seeing a strange man beside the girl, he immediately felt like facing a big enemy: "Girl, who is this man? Why is he so ignorant that he wandered around in the garden, and he is not afraid of bumping into the female relatives, so he should fight him out."

Mu Zixuan's eyes and ears are sharp, how can he not hear Xinlan's whispers, he is suddenly embarrassed, it is the first time in his life that someone treats him as a disciple, and he feels a little embarrassed.He raised his hand to cover his face, coughed lightly, then pretended to look at Qinglian in the pool, and kept silent.

Seeing his helpless look, Daiyu couldn't hide a smile in her heart, and for a moment she felt that she and Mu Zixuan were much closer.She quietly told Xin Lan about Mu Zixuan's identity, and immediately frightened Xin Lan. She actually regarded the majestic prince as a child. If the prince heard about it, he would definitely punish her for disrespect .

Seeing that she was terribly frightened, Daiyu hurriedly comforted her, and told her to fetch the tea set, and she wanted to drink tea with the prince.Xinlan didn't dare to be negligent, and left in a hurry after paying respects to Mu Zixuan.Not long after, Xinlan rushed back with two little girls carrying charcoal from the stove and a complete set of tea sets.

Daiyu dismissed the two little girls and asked Xinlan to watch over the fire. She cleaned her hands and put the tea sets one by one.

Mu Zixuan sat on the side, quietly watching Daiyu's every move, only feeling a little joy in his heart, the long-standing feeling of loneliness disappeared at this moment.

Daiyu took the boiling kettle from Xinlan, finished rinsing the tea sets one by one, put the high-quality Longjing into the purple clay pot, then lifted the pot to pour boiling water, lifted it up and down three times to show respect, and waited a little longer. After a while, he poured the brewed tea into the purple sand cup and offered it to Mu Zixuan with both hands.

Mu Zixuan thanked Daiyu, served the tea and smelled the fragrance, sipped the soup to enjoy the taste, and was speechless for a while.After a while, Mu Zixuan asked: "Miss Lin, is your life in Hangzhou going well? Have you ever thought about returning to the capital?"

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "The prince cares a lot, and the girls live here very well. Speaking of which, the girls can live so smoothly with the care of the prince. Here, I take tea Instead of wine, offer a toast to the prince, and express some gratitude."

"Miss Lin, you don't need to talk like this. Zixuan is just doing a little bit of effort, which is insignificant compared to the girl's life-saving grace. You and I met each other by fate, so there is no need to thank you, that would be too much It’s a little outlandish.”

Daiyu couldn't bear to be so polite, seeing what he said, she naturally went along with the situation and said: "Since that's the case, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful. Everything is said without saying anything."

Seeing Daiyu so free and easy, Mu Zixuan was quite happy, and couldn't help repeating the old saying: "Miss hasn't answered Zixuan's question just now, and she is willing to return to the capital in the future."

"...This, of course, has to go back. The grievances of my father have not yet been cleared. When the enemy is punished in the future, it will be the time when the daughter of the people returns to the capital."

"Oh, after the big revenge is avenged, will the girl settle in the capital or return to the south of the Yangtze River? After all, after the girl is a loyal minister, the imperial court will definitely pay her compensation in the future. If she stays in the capital, wealth and prosperity can be expected. Although the south of the Yangtze River is good, After all, it will not help the girl's future, and the girl needs to think twice."

"Minnv is just an ordinary woman, and all she wants is a peaceful and leisurely life. Besides, wealth and splendor can be overturned from time to time, so there is nothing to rely on. Rather than worrying about life and worrying about the future, it is better to live according to fate and be comfortable. So The daughters of the people only hope that their family feuds will be rewarded, and that they will always be with their parents here, and they will be satisfied."

After hearing Mu Zixuan's words, Daiyu was very puzzled.I don't know why Mu Zixuan is obsessed with this question. Does it have anything to do with him if she returns to the capital?

In fact, Daiyu didn't know something, the reason why Mu Zixuan was like this was because he had other plans in mind.He has been tortured by Gu poison since he was a child, struggling between life and death every day, and because of this, he has seen all kinds of life in the world. The so-called prosperity, wealth, power and status are just passing clouds to him.

He had already planned in the first place, if there is no cure for the strange poison, then he will spend the rest of his life trying his best to repay the support and care of the queen mother, the emperor and other relatives.If he is lucky enough to survive, after helping the emperor and the prince to eradicate the hidden dangers of the Zhongshun faction, he will live in seclusion among the mountains and rivers.

Now that he has a good impression of Daiyu, Mu Zixuan naturally wants to find out what kind of life Daiyu desires in his heart, so that he can make a decision in his heart.

Now hearing Daiyu's answer, Mu Zixuan smiled with joy in his heart.He was full of thoughts, his gentle gaze quickly passed over Daiyu, he lowered his head and smiled lightly: "The girl's thoughts are different from others, but it makes Zixuan feel respectful." Finding a quiet place, he sits in the distance and flies away. "May there be fate in the future, and Zixuan will be lucky enough to have a cup of tea with the girl, and drink tea under the moon.".

Before Daiyu could respond, Mu Zixuan continued, "By the way, I heard that Miss Lin has a deep relationship with the second girl and sister in Jia's residence. Do you know how she is doing?"

Daiyu was struggling with Mu Zixuan's ambiguous words just now, when she suddenly saw him talking about Yingchun in a serious manner, she couldn't help being startled, and was immediately attracted to him with all her thoughts.

"Why did the prince mention the second sister? Could it be that something happened to her?"

Seeing Daiyu's nervous expression, Mu Zixuan hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, it's not a disaster but a happy event. That Miss Jia has already left the cabinet more than a month ago, so she must be in the south of the Yangtze River by now."

"What's going on here? A few days ago, there was a letter from the capital, and the daughter of the people had never heard of it. Does the prince know the reason?"

"I don't know the details, but a few days ago, there was news from Jia's mansion that Jia Amnesty intended to marry the second girl to a man surnamed grandson. For this reason, there was an uproar in the mansion. Later, for some reason, Jia Amnesty went out of his way, They actually asked someone to find another marriage for the second girl from Jinling. After the marriage was settled, they married her to Jinling in a hurry. If you really want to find some clues, it seems that you have something to do with that Lian's second wife relationship. But if you want to know the truth, you have to ask the person concerned."

Seeing Daiyu frowned slightly, she was very worried.Mu Zixuan smiled secretly, and said: "Fortunately, Jinling is not far from Hangzhou. If you are worried about your sister, why not go to Jinling and ask about it? It happens that Zixuan and Xue's brothers and sisters are going to Jinling to deal with the Zhen family early in the morning. For one thing, the girl might as well go all the way, with Miss Xue accompanying her, she won't worry about the loneliness of the journey. Besides, after the collapse of the Zhen family, there are a lot of businesses left behind, and the girl's Lin family shop can use this to find business opportunities, isn't it a double win? ?”

When Daiyu heard this, her heart skipped a beat.After thinking about it for a while, she was finally worried about the matter of welcoming the spring. If the truth didn't come to light, she would have trouble sleeping and eating.

"Since that's the case, Minnv will go back and prepare her luggage. Later, I will go with the prince early in the morning, but when I arrive in Jinling, I will have to trouble the prince to find out about my second sister, so Minnv would like to thank the prince here first."

Seeing that Daiyu answered, Mu Zixuan was overjoyed, a gorgeous smile bloomed on his face, and under the hazy moonlight, he looked more and more like a zhilanyushu, elegant and elegant.

At this time, Daiyu is entangled in the matter of welcoming the spring and cannot extricate herself from it. Unknowingly, she has become Mu Zixuan's target, and she is foolishly falling into the trap as he imagined...

No.40 Once the sisters meet again

After Daiyu decided to go to Jinling with Mu Zixuan to visit Yingchun, she hurried back home to pack her luggage.Fortunately, there were enough people, and it took only half a day to pack it up.

Zijuan was originally an old slave of Jia's mansion, and she had a good relationship with Yingchun on weekdays, now that she heard about Yingchun, she naturally wanted to go with her.And Xueyan loves to play, and she will not let go of this trip.In this way, the positions of Xinlan and Xinzhu were given up, which made the two girls very depressed for a long time.

Fortunately, Zijuan and Xueyan promised repeatedly that they would bring them some good things when they came back, which made the two girls stay reluctantly.

Considering Mu Zixuan's proposal, Daiyu decided to let Li Fu and Lin Ping accompany him to see if they could find business opportunities in Jinling and open up business routes for the Lin family.

Although Daiyu has space, but because of the large number of people on the road, in order to deceive people, Lin Lin always assembled more than half of the car.

When the appointed time came, Daiyu's master and servant came to the other courtyard to join Baoqin and others.After getting out of the car, Mu Zixuan came out to meet him in person.Seeing this, Daiyu felt a little uncomfortable, and after exchanging a few pleasantries with Mu Zixuan, she fled hastily amidst Mu Zixuan's smile.

Therefore, the travel should be as light and simple as possible, so Daiyu and Baoqin's luggage were all brought together.Except for the female relatives and Mu Zixuan who rode in the car, the rest of the people accompanied them on horseback.

Following Xue Biao's order, the group set off quickly.Speaking of it, Hangzhou is not too far from Jinling, but it is only a few days' journey.

Along the way, accompanied by Baoqin and others, Daiyu does not worry about the loneliness of the journey.They admired the passing scenery for a while, and they were full of poetic enthusiasm for a while. The crisp and joyful laughter came out of the carriage from time to time, which infected the people who accompanied the car and relaxed their mood.

Sitting in the car in front of him, Mu Zixuan vaguely heard the laughter coming from behind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, showing a faint sense of satisfaction on his face.

Mei Jinyu bent her knees and leaned against the wall of the car, squinting at her lord, he tapped the palm of his hand lightly with a folding fan, his eyes were full of deep interest.

"Since the prince came to the south of the Yangtze River, his mood is getting better every day. The subordinates are very puzzled by this. I don't know what kind of good things happened to the prince? At this time, no one would like to explain a little bit, and let the subordinates feel happy. "

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan stared at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said slowly, "Jinyu's words are wrong. If a happy event is right and wrong, it must be you. I want to see a beautiful woman to relieve the pain of lovesickness. Seeing your face □, presumably the wedding day is not far away, and we, the lonely ones, should have some joy from you."

The two foxes, you come and I go to each other tacitly, teasing each other to pass the time, but it is a lot of fun.Whenever they stay at the top of the hotel, the two will greet Daiyu and Baoqin with utmost hospitality.

Baoqin is fine, but Daiyu is entangled by Mu Zixuan's behavior.It would be impolite to refuse, but it would be embarrassing to accept, and there was nothing I could do for a while.

And precisely because of Mu Zixuan's overt actions, his true purpose was clearly revealed.For this reason, Baoqin teased Daiyu in private, which made Daiyu blushed and annoyed for a while, and regretted her trip this time.

In this way, amidst Mu Zixuan's concern and consideration, Daiyu's upset, and a group of unscrupulous people who were either happy to see the success or entangled in worries, Jinling City, known as "the beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, the state of Jinling Emperor", appeared before people's eyes.

Daiyu didn't want to live in the other courtyard specially prepared by the government office for Mu Zixuan, but Mu Zixuan persuaded her to stay for the convenience of finding Yingchun, and Baoqin also pestered her to leave, so Daiyu had no choice but to stay. He obeyed their wishes and stayed down.

From then on, Mu Zixuan and the others began to get busy, going out early and returning home at night.Daiyu and Baoqin had nothing to do because they couldn't help, so they took the maids and a few entourages to play in Jinling City.

After a few days like this, Mu Zixuan inquired about the recent situation of Yingchun for Daiyu, faithful to his word.It turned out that Yingchun's husband's family was a family surnamed Jiang in Jinling City.Although the Jiang family is not comparable to the four major families, it still has some reputation in Jinling City.

Yingchun's husband-in-law's name is Jiang Tingxiu, and because he doesn't like the gossip in the officialdom, he no longer takes part in the imperial examination after obtaining the qualification for juren, and only focuses on managing the family property.

The Jiang family is thin, except for Jiang Yanxiu who is the main wife, only one son and one daughter were born by the concubine's aunt.The concubine was already married, and the concubine was only five or six years old, so he did not pose any threat to Jiang Yanxiu at all.

In addition, I heard that Jiang Yanxiu has a peaceful temperament and is gentle and refined. Apart from Yingchun, the first wife, there are only two housemates in the room.

After Daiyu heard the news, she was very happy for Yingchun, she got rid of the original tragic fate, and now in such a simple family, Yingchun must be living quite happily

Although Daiyu has a relationship with Yingchun's husband-in-law, she can't accept it.But in this era of three wives and four concubines, it is extremely rare for Jiang Yanxiu to be able to do this, but she can't use her own standards to ask others not to be

Now that the information about welcoming the spring has been confirmed, Daiyu plans to go to visit her.Just when he was thinking about what gifts to give when he came to the door, and when Ju Yingchun was making a big face in front of his in-laws, Mu Zixuan solved this problem for him with a tacit understanding.

Since Mu Zixuan learned that Daiyu was going to Jiang's house to visit Yingchun, he had already sent someone to inquire about the preferences of the Jiang family's masters, and helped Daiyu prepare everything.

Looking at the pile of presents in front of her, while Daiyu was struggling, she was also touched by Mu Zixuan's intentions.It is undeniable that it feels good to be cared for carefully, which makes Daiyu, who has always been very shy about relationships, at this time can't help feeling a little affection for Mu Zixuan.

While Daiyu was struggling with her emotions, Yingchun, who had always been on her mind, was busy and never idle.

Jiang's house, which is located on the bank of Xuanwu Lake, is a lively scene at this time.Because Jiang Yanxiu's sister-in-law, who had been married to Hangzhou for more than two years, came back to visit relatives with her husband and son-in-law, and the whole family was happily helping them.

Today's Yingchun has changed from her cowardly character in the past. Although she is still gentle and smooth, she is a little more strong. At this time, she is smiling and laughing with a group of female relatives, watching her warmth from the inside out. If you think about it, you will know that its life here is very smooth.

While the family was talking and laughing, a chess player dressed as a woman hurried in, holding a greeting card in his hand.After greeting the masters, Siqi handed the card to Yingchun, and said excitedly: "Grandma, take a look, what is this!"

Yingchun was very surprised to see Siqi's appearance. When she took the greeting card and opened it to read, she immediately stood up excitedly: "It's my sister who came!"

The people in the room didn't care about Siqi's behavior at first, they just thought it was an invitation from a good friend, but they were surprised to see that Yingchun, who has always behaved elegantly, lost his composure in such a way.

Mrs. Jiang couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart, and asked: "Looking at your daughter-in-law, you look happy, and you mentioned your sister, could it be that the in-laws in the capital are visiting?"

"That's not true. My mother doesn't know about it. My daughter-in-law's aunt's family has a cousin who is now residing in Jiangnan. She must have heard about her daughter-in-law, so she came to visit. Speaking of which, the daughter-in-law and this cousin have not seen each other for more than a year. When I learned that she was coming, I lost my composure in a moment of excitement, which made my mother and sister laugh."

"Oh, I probably know that your aunt married Lin Ruhai, the former inspector of the salt industry. Could this cousin be the daughter of Master Lin?"

"So that mother can know that it is the cousin of the Lin family. When the cousin was temporarily staying at the daughter-in-law's natal home, she had the best relationship with the daughter-in-law, so she came to visit."

Mrs. Jiang heard the words and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, when the Lin family girl comes, you must treat her daughter-in-law well. If Miss Lin doesn't dislike it, you can invite her to stay at home temporarily, and you sisters can reunite for a while. Talk about sisterhood."

Seeing that her mother-in-law had a very good attitude, Yingchun felt relieved, and wholeheartedly looked forward to Daiyu's arrival soon.When Jiang Tingxiu returned to his room in the evening, he saw that his wife was full of joy, so she asked why.

Yingchun was in a good mood and told about Daiyu, Jiang Tingxiu was also very happy.At the same time, Jiang Tingxiu, a person from the south of the Yangtze River, has always respected and admired Lin Ruhai, who is elegant, upright and honest.

Moreover, he also learned from his beloved wife that this Miss Lin is quite like a father, elegant and refined, and proud, so he welcomes her very much.Seeing that his beloved wife's already excellent face was a little bit more beautiful because of her happiness, Jiang Tingxiu's heart was hot, and she immediately hugged Yingchun into her arms, and they were lingering for a while.

Early the next morning, Yingchun sent Jiang Tingxiu away with a shy face, and after finishing her makeup under the service of Xiuju, she couldn't wait to send Siqi to the gate to wait for Daiyu's arrival.And she went to greet Mrs. Jiang and arrange everything in the mansion today.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Yingchun was discussing matters in the mansion with Mrs. Jiang when she saw the little girl panicking.
